Page 121 of Love Me Again

“I miss getting fucked.” Jo utters out loud after a while. We all break out into fits of laughter on the bed.

Aimee and I decided to tell the boys on the weekend, and of course, we had to have our JoJo there with us for the moment. We stood in the kitchen whispering to one another while the boys were playing UFC on the PlayStation in the living room.

“So, we just go over there and hand it to them?” Aimee says, exhaling nervously. I nod and push her wrapped box to her, and she chews on her full lips. We got baby grows made. Mine had ‘And then there was four...’ printed on the front and Aimee’s one had, ‘And then there was three’ on hers. I was half excited and half nervous. My stomach was fluttering wildly. “Let’s do this before I pass out.” Aimee sighs, brushing her hair away from her face.

We walk to the living room, step in front of the screen, and the boys lean over trying to see the screen, scowls on their faces. “Girls, you’re blocking the tv,” Josh utters, moving from side to side, trying to see. Aimee and I glare at them, and they lower the controls, watching us with wide eyes.

“Bro, what did you do?” Cole whispers, his eyes on mine, leaning into Josh, who shakes his head, his eyes on Aimee’s angry gaze.

“Nothing. What did you do?” Josh mumbles back from the corner of his mouth.

“I didn't do anything, I swear,” Cole utters, putting the control down. I fight the urge to smile and keep my face stoic, pretending I was livid.

“Oh, but you did. You both did something.” I hiss. Cole and Josh exchange confused glances. We toss the boxes at them, and they catch them and look at us. They look at one another nervously once more and down at the box in their hands.

“I’m confused.” Cole frowns, looking at me. “What’s this?”

“Open it.” I grouse, scowling. Aimee gestures to Josh, who casts another look at Cole before they tear the boxes open. They pull out the baby grows at the same time, brows knitted together. They read the front and their eyes lift to us. Cole stares into my eyes, “And then there was four? Shay is this...” Cole lowers the baby grow and shifts in his seat. “…what I think it is?”

“Aimes?” Josh utters his blue eyes wide.

Aimee and I look at one another, and we smile. “We’re pregnant.” We announce together, and the box falls off Josh’s lap, and Cole’s frown turns into a bright grin. The boys look at one another.

“YES!” They shout excitedly and hug each other before they fly off the sofa and rush over to us.

“Oh, baby.” Cole wraps his arms around me and lifts me off the ground into his arms. I wrap my legs around him, laughing. “You’re pregnant?”

“I am.” I smile, pressing my forehead to his.

“But you were on the pill?”

I nod with a sigh. “I was, but much like yourself, your sperm also knows no bounds.” I tease, and he laughs, pulling my lips to his for a long, passionate kiss. Josh and Aimee were also kissing.

“Yo!” Sam exclaims, throwing a cushion at us, grimacing. “We’re still here! In case you all start stripping.” Cole and I pull apart, panting, grins plastered on our faces.

“Shhh! Jo, shut your man up.” Josh grumbles against Aimee’s lips, who giggles. Jo pulls Sam down for a kiss, and he grunts, kissing her back quickly, forgetting about everyone else in the room.

“You’ve made me the happiest man in the world, baby.” Cole groans, staring into my eyes lovingly, his fingers combing through my hair. “You’re having my baby again.”

“Let’s pray this one goes better than the last.” I sigh, brushing my fingers along his jaw. A sudden shadow falls over Cole’s gaze as he remembers all the problems we had last time. We didn’t get to enjoy the pregnancy the first time around. I pray this time will be different.

We’ve left all the bad memories behind us, remember?” Cole reminds me, and I nod, smiling a little. I didn’t want to ruin this moment for us, so I push away all the negative emotions and focus on enjoying the moment.

“Absolutely.” I grin, and he cups the back of my neck, brushing his lips over mine.

“Shay.” He whispers into my mouth.

“Hm?”

“How about that nanny?” Cole drawls mockingly and laughs when I pinch his nipple. “Ow!”

“Bite me, Hoult.”

“Just say where baby.”
